PS2815-4-A Optoisolator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PS2815-4-A is a 4-channel optoisolator with transistor output manufactured by CEL, designed for 2500Vrms isolation applications. This component features a 16-SOIC package and supports both AC and DC input types with a maximum output current of 40mA per channel. The PS2815-4-A is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design requirements and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PS2815-4-A are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the optoisolator category. All substitute candidates maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• 4-channel configuration
• 2500Vrms isolation voltage
• 100% to 400% current transfer ratio range @ 1mA
• 40V maximum output voltage
• 40mA maximum output current per channel
• 300mV maximum Vce saturation
• Transistor output type
• AC/DC input capability
• -55°C to 100°C operating temperature range

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• 16-SOIC package (0.173", 4.40mm width)
• 16-SSOP supplier device package
• Surface mount mounting type

Compliance Criteria:

• ROHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level)
• EAR99 ECCN classification
• 8541.49.8000 HTSUS code

All three substitute parts (PS2815-4-F3-A, PS2815-4-V-A, PS2815-4-V-F3-A) meet these criteria and are manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation with active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts (PS2815-4-F3-A, PS2815-4-V-A, PS2815-4-V-F3-A) are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents to the PS2815-4-A. The primary distinction among substitutes is packaging format and product availability status.

PS2815-4-F3-A is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging with 1293 units in stock. This variant is suitable for applications requiring standard tape and reel distribution.

PS2815-4-V-A is supplied in Strip packaging with 1542 units in stock. This option accommodates applications with specific packaging requirements.

PS2815-4-V-F3-A is available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with the highest inventory level of 3123 units in stock. This variant is optimized for high-volume production environments requiring reel-based component handling.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and identical electrical specifications. Selection should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain logistics rather than electrical performance, as all variants are functionally equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are PS2815-4-F3-A, PS2815-4-V-A, and PS2815-4-V-F3-A direct replacements for PS2815-4-A?

A: Yes. All three parts are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents. They maintain identical isolation voltage (2500Vrms), channel count (4), current transfer ratio (100%-400% @ 1mA), output specifications (40V max, 40mA per channel), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 100°C). All are packaged in 16-SOIC format with surface mount configuration.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and inventory availability. PS2815-4-F3-A uses Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging, PS2815-4-V-A uses Strip packaging, and PS2815-4-V-F3-A uses Tape & Reel packaging. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use these substitutes in existing PCB designs without modification?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the identical 16-SOIC package with 0.173" width and 4.40mm dimensions. Pin configuration and footprint compatibility are maintained across all variants.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: No. All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, EAR99 ECCN classification, and 8541.49.8000 HTSUS code. The main part is REACH Affected while substitutes are REACH Unaffected, but this does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Which substitute should I select for production?

A: Selection depends on supply chain requirements. PS2815-4-V-F3-A offers the highest inventory (3123 units) in standard Tape & Reel format, making it optimal for high-volume production. PS2815-4-F3-A and PS2815-4-V-A are suitable for applications with specific packaging preferences or lower volume requirements.

Q: Do the substitutes have the same turn-on/turn-off characteristics?

A: The main part PS2815-4-A does not specify turn-on/turn-off time. All three substitutes also do not specify this parameter in their primary specifications. Rise and fall times are identical across all parts (4µs and 5µs respectively).
